Robin hurriedly enters his dorm room through the window and strips down just in time to meet his girlfriend. Finally an answer to the age-old question: is he wearing a tunic or briefs?

An NYCC pick-up that I never thought I’d see in real life. Alex Saviuk had a great selection of some prime Bronze Age pages, many of which had once belonged to his brother (a doctor — hence the double-salutation at the end). This one found a good home!

This was the tie of the teen heart throbs and Robin's solo adventures had a great appeal to girl readers who can't get enough of those muscular legs. Nowadays, they would make him a thirst trap for the ladies on covers of Nightwing.
